Par un minuit lugubre, un esprit las veille sur d’anciens volumes quand un léger heurt à la porte trouble le silence. Bientôt, un corbeau ténébreux s’installe et, avec un refrain implacable, pousse le narrateur au bord de l’obsession.

Although grief is at the forefront of these poems, The Wild Delight of Wild Things is a simple love letter to Turner's late wife, poet Ilyse Kusnetz (1966-2016).

Intertwining this immense grief, Turner explores the hybrid borderlands of genre, and the meditations on love and loss blur the boundaries between poetry and lyric prose. In Italian, the word "stanza" is rooted in the word "room."
